Great review, however would rather see air filters compared to their equivalent. That Medify is for high square footage 800+. To put the Coway in here is a little misleading as someone may think it actually is better than the medify and therefore purchase it. But the Coway does not have granulated carbon.
I got one of these for an area of my office. I love medify, but as someone who’s experimented with several air purifiers for both my home & work place, I hate this design! I don’t like rear intake and forward facing air out. It’s just not practical for most spaces. For example, the Winix is a far better design, in my opinion. Of course the larger dual filter systems on the side like the 112 is nice as well.
The review is a bit skewed. True HEPA filters 99.97% of contaminants down to .3 microns H13 removes 99.95 of contaminants down to .1 microns. And H14 99.995 respectively. Why they are considered medical grade HEPA. Energy usage, noise, and expense will invariably be much higher due to the increased resistance of the higher filtration levels. If there’s is a comparison to be made please compare to other medical grade filters
Actually for a air purifier to be ranked medical grade it has to be at 99.95 if 0.01 microns. All HEPA filters can get to 99.97 of 0.3. For a real medical grade filter you'll know it's medical grade by how thick it is. The thicker, more accurate the finest particles will be captured. I actually talked with a company by the name of Aeris (ex IQair engineer). Camfil is a major filtration facility. Where they did their testing. Their filters are 99.95 of 0.01 with their Aair lite models. The guy told me the number the IQair gets with their hyper HEPA us actually around the 99.95 mark. The carbon is the thing that gets the smallest particles. The hyper HEPA us just super thick and thus why it lasts for like 4 years. He even showed me real reports from IQ airs CEO, it's very confusing to most consumers. Oransi is a great company, they actually explain this in way better details. They are probably the most honest company I've found. But yeah 99.95 of 0.01 is medical grade. UL actually has the standard for the united states from what I've been told. Austin air purifiers do the same thing. Since they've had testing from the us government. UL, and many other companies that have worked with NASA, I'm pretty sure there's a reason why they were chosen for FEMA and 911. As well as the Gas leaks in California. But a really simple test is this: Buy a cheap air purifier and buy a more expensive one. Put it in your bedroom. Open the windows for 30 minutes, take a particle counter. Or if you or someone has allergies really bad see how you or them react as the baseline. Shut the window, turn the purifier on for an hour. Test both of them and see what they do for you. If you're on a budget, stick with a coway. But if your bed written 24/7 or you are working with heavy fumes, etc. Then yes a good air purifier is very important. That's my philosophy anyways. But the question is, are the medify medical grade? Yes, at least their testing papers prove it. They reduced 0.01 particles by 99.99 percent.
So if medify was cheaper than winix in terms of the air purifier itself and the replacement, medify would win and be better than winix though right? In terms of performance and all. The main issue is the price point, am I getting this right?
Yes, that is correct - it's one combination filter. You can clean the pre-filter (vacuum it off) but I would be concerned about that putting wear on the HEPA filter.
First of all, thanks for letting me know! It's always helpful when viewers point out potentially bad links. This one should be good to go though. The product is just temporarily out of stock. When it comes back in stock the link should work once again.
Yes. It comes with an extra "pet" filter but that filter has to be replaced at cost, and really doesn't add much to the filtration capabilities of the air purifier. It's also usually considerably more expensive than the top rated 5500-2 and Coway Mighty, and so I don't recommend it over those units.

yey, finally back to Air Purifier reviews! :D
It's been a while! I have to admit it was a bit difficult to talk about air purifiers after testing robot vacuums the last year and a half. 😅
Im Loving my MA40 had it for over 4 years now and working flawless still of course changing filters. Noise level dont bother me.
I have 3 of these units....Love them....long lasting and no issues.

air purifier vids are back baby!!
They are indeed.
Is the little light above the filter indicator suppised to blink?

Would this be good
For cat litter dust?

Would like to see a review of the IKEA Branded air purifiers as they look like decent value for long-term use
So if medify was cheaper than winix in terms of the air purifier itself and the replacement, medify would win and be better than winix though right? In terms of performance and all. The main issue is the price point, am I getting this right?
I got two MA-40s for $360. So it’s $180 each. Does it make it a better value?
Are the pre, hepa, and gas filters all combined into one replacement? Wouldn't the prefilter need to be replaced well before the gas filter?
Yes, that is correct - it's one combination filter. You can clean the pre-filter (vacuum it off) but I would be concerned about that putting wear on the HEPA filter.
Do any of your top rated units filter below .3 that are the same price point as the winnix?
They don’t sell the winix on Amazon?
It's just out of stock. Though it has been out of stock for a while now. I also hope it's just a temporary supply chain issue.
Thank you. You helped me make the decision in getting the winix
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
The Winix link does not work

Rabbit air a-3?
You seen the Winx 9800?
Yes. It comes with an extra "pet" filter but that filter has to be replaced at cost, and really doesn't add much to the filtration capabilities of the air purifier. It's also usually considerably more expensive than the top rated 5500-2 and Coway Mighty, and so I don't recommend it over those units.
@@consumer-analysis thanks!
@@emf9 You're welcome!
If it cleans 99% I’m good
Well, it's clear. A no go for this one.
Correct. Definitely didn't like this one, especially for the price.
